What are the potential consequences of abruptly stopping PHP script execution?

Abruptly stopping PHP script execution can lead to incomplete tasks, data corruption, and potential security vulnerabilities. To prevent this, it is important to handle errors gracefully and ensure proper cleanup of resources before terminating the script.

// Example of gracefully handling errors and cleaning up resources before script termination

try {
    // Your PHP code here
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Handle the exception gracefully
    echo 'An error occurred: ' . $e->getMessage();
} finally {
    // Clean up resources before script termination
    // Close database connections, release locks, etc.
}
